Here is another chapter :). I do not own Google.

Haunted

Chapter 4- You Don't Have To

Sesshomaru returned home from work shortly after dinner. He heated his plate in the microwave as Rin sat t the table excitedly chatting on and on about how her day at WacDonald's had been. He was glad she enjoyed herself, don't get him wrong, but why Yasha had ordered pizza once more, was beyond him. She showed him her swear jar, which was packed full of money. "Your uncle has not been civilly filtering himself. We emptied that jar a month a go." Rin giggled.

"He put three dollars in the first day remember?!" She shouted with laughter. Sesshomaru couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, I will have Yasha take you to the bank Monday. You remember your information, correct?"

"Yep!" She told him excitedly, "151392014 and the pin number is 396!"

"Well done." Her father praised. Rin beamed under his compliments and she put her swear jar back in place. "Which movie are we watching tonight?" He questioned as he loaded the dish washer.

"You don't always have to watch movies with me Daddy." Rin told him with a cheery smile. This caused the businessman to be silent with surprise.

"Of course I don't Rin-Rin, but I'll continue to do so until my teeth and hair fall out and I am wearing a diaper." Rin giggled insanely and climbed down from her chair to help her father. "What makes you say that?" Sesshomaru questioned curiously. Rin shrugged her tiny shoulders.

"The pretty lady Kagome wanted to see your reaction." Rin replied closing the dishwasher. They had only been in this house for three days. It would be impossible for her to have met an adult that would care for his reactions.

"Who is this Kagome you speak of?" Rin giggled again, but this time she wasn't looking at him.

"You wouldn't know her if I told you Daddy. Let's watch the Little Mermaid!" Sesshomaru turned on the dishwasher before allowing her to drag him in to the living room. He would find out later whom this mystery female was. Perhaps she was one of Yasha's friends? He had forbid his half-brother from bringing those imbeciles around his daughter. Maybe some pestering was in order when Rin was put to bed.

Yasha paced his room anxiously. He was starting to believe this place really was haunted after the events that had occurred over the past few days. He had found more broken pottery in his bed and quickly searched Rin and Sesshomaru's bed to make sure there wasn't any more. Yasha was sure whatever it was, was out for and against him. He had a feeling some research was in order. Yasha hopped on his debris-free bed and opened his laptop. He typed in Lady Kagome in Google then pressed 'enter'.

The adolescent felt insane, but he needed to know, no, he HAD to prove himself that he had yet to lose his mind. Yasha opened his window, closed his door, put a towel to it, and returned to his bed. He hand only a bud of a blunt left and he intended to finish it. Yasha lit his blunt and smoked while he browsed the internet. He couldn't find shit. Sighing to himself, he blew a puff of smoke onto the computer screen and sighed again. At least he knew this bitch of a ghost hadn't been famous or royal. Well, a royal pain in the ass, but that was nothing he could find on the internet. 'Ghost of Kagome that is a royal pain in the ass'. He snorted. That wouldn't come up with shit. Taking a small drag of the illegal narcotic, Yasha inhaled deeply.

Maybe he could find something at the library. He laughed to himself, rudely snorting and shook his head at the idea. The now roach must have been getting to him. Shrugging his shoulders, the teenager flicked what was left of the drug out the window and onto the lawn. His older half-brother giving him rules his ass. He took the towel from the door and tossed it into his closet before spreading himself across his bed. He was already feeling slapped, and damn did he love exotic shit.

Kagura wouldn't have though. Yasha frowned at the intruding, offensive thought. Kags was dead and gone. What she said didn't matter shit to him anymore when she left his brother a widow and single parent, him without a sister, and Rin without a mother. He scowled at himself for the depressing thoughts. She had helped a lot by becoming a model while Sesshomaru completed college and worked long hours.

That of course didn't help he recuperate from the loss of Kanna, especially because Sesshomaru divulged himself in college and work to alleviate, ignore, or forget the pain, and during the depressed time for the wife and husband, their current child and brother lay completely forgotten. Yasha made an angry grunt. Fuck Sesshomaru then and now. He hadn't came to his rescue at fourteen and he sure as hell didn't need his help at seventeen.-

I could feel Yasha's negative emotions from where I sat on the couch next to Rin. That wasn't good. In a way, the mermaid girl and I were near the same… except I wasn't in love and I needed a whole body. Not just legs. I sighed wistfully. Rin was curled into her father's side, peacefully asleep. Her father had also drifted to sleep a few minutes after she did. I had smiled when I felt his curiosity towards my name. I wonder how he would have reacted should Rin had told him the truth of me. I expressed to her that he wouldn't believe nor would he understand my curiosity.

Rin was very close to her gather and he was as well, but his work was beginning to consume him without his knowledge. "You don't have to work so hard." I chided, wanting him to hear me. It seemed to have worked because he was startled from his dreams. "Kagura?" He questioned sleepily. This infuriated me.

I was notthat woman! Before I could reign in my anger, the television flickered rapidly, and I took his distraction to my advantage and quickly gained control over my emotions before an impossible wind began in the room. Sesshomaru turned off the television quickly, probably expecting it to explode. Anger is what turns a perfectly 'normal' spirit into a vicious haunting or malevolent demon. Well, any negative emotions could send a spirit down the road to never being reincarnated again.

Either that or the madness from being a spirit so long and never finding out why they weren't reincarnated. This would probably happen to me. Sesshomaru collected his daughter in his muscular arms and headed upstairs to her room. I wasn't far behind, and watched him tuck my Rin in. I had grown angry at Sesshomaru because, well, what woman wants to be mistaken for another woman? Besides that fact, it wasn't the 1700's any longer. Children needed the attention of both parents, and one should make up for the slack of a busy, untraceable, or deceased parent.

Well in my book, that is how it goes, but Sesshomaru was too divulged in the past of his wife to allow himself to realize he was neglecting their child and his only connection left to his wife. I followed Sesshomaru to Yasha's room, also wanting to check on the teenage. Sesshomaru opened the door gently, I guess by means to surprise him and we both found our favorite teen passed out on his bed. I passed through Sesshomaru and he glanced at the open window. He walked to the window and closed it before leaving the room and shutting the door again.

My eyes met his open laptop, and allowing curiosity to get the better of me, I peeked. He had researched my name! I was not a noble though, which is why no results that he was looking for came up. A thought suddenly crossed my mind. I could use his help to find out why I died! Oh genius, genius me! I smiled happily and truly for the first time in… well ages.

This was great, no… superb. Maybe his troubled soul was my ticket outta here and I was his key to redemption.
